Serves 1 / Prep time: 5 minutes
The cashew milk and heavy cream combine to create an absolutely luscious smoothie that is tart enough to be refreshing and still makes for a satisfying breakfast or snack. If you add a few ice cubes, it will be like enjoying a rich citrus sorbet instead of a healthy breakfast. A couple leaves of fresh mint will also enhance the fresh flavor.
1 cup unsweetened cashew milk
¼ cup heavy (whipping) cream
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 scoop plain protein powder
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon sweetener
1. Put the cashew milk, heavy cream, lemon juice, protein powder, coconut oil and sweetener in a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
SUBSTITUTION TIP
Almond milk or coconut milk are also fine choices instead of
cashew milk if you prefer those products. Each type of milk adds a slightly different flavor to the smoothie, so try them all to get the right combination for your palate.
